The Haslinger Coconut is now gone, and I thought I would try a new soap: Ethos Lavender. I liked the Ethos unscented so much I bought this one recently – despite my abundant supply of soaps. A very nice lather and a pleasant scent. The Timeless and Lab combo is turning out to be my favorite setup. A perfect BBS shave. Have a great day and weekend, B&Bers.

SE SOTD, Fri, SEptember 10th 2021, A very inexpensive shave today for those who do not like to spend money on finer gear.

Razor: Yaqi 50mm V1 Excalibur, great tame mid range, great daily driver for most folks, I get close shaves with this nice razor.
Blade: Chinese Blue injector (2), sharp & smooth with some longevity, not top tier, good pricing.
Soap: Gillette Pure, nice scent, excellent lather qualities IMO. Affordable for most.
Brush: Yaqi 22mm Cola, Small foot print, excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, great scrub, great lather painter.
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
Post shave: Pinaud Clubman with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BbS + no irritation + no weepers = :a17: excellent shave with my V1 Yaqi Excalibur + a China blue blade.

Just another nice and dramafree shave with the vintage Polsilver Stainless and the Blackbird 😀
3 passes, effective close shave.
BBS without irritation, just a tiny nick in the soul patch area. It was gone as soon as I applied my long time favorite aftershave (which unfortunately already has been discontinued some time ago).

Happy shaves, y'all!
